Valley Girls - Added new phrases to the america (Groddy To The Max,Gag Me With A Spoon). The San Fransisco 49ers were "The Team". The Refrigerator was also a football player.. The Atari 2600 was the cutting edge in video gaming TRS-80 was the last word in computers. Typewriters were stroking away.. Michael Jacksons "Thriller" E.T. Used a Speak And Spell..:P Gotta go to w***. More will come later..

You put quarters on a video arcade game to reserve your space in line. A ghetto blaster was considered portable music. Zaxxon was cool because it looked 3D. You know the significance of "Video Killed the Radio Star." You watched movies in BetaMax format. Max Headroom was a TV star.

Parachutte pants and jelly shoes. Bon Jovi was a rock band. Your hair was bigger that your head. Country wasn't cool. Trans Am's ruled!

I was both a 70s kid and an 80s kid, so I'll chime in ... You had a trapper keeper "Kawabunga dude ..." You wondered why Smurfette had 20 of the same dress in her closet ... Donkey Kong was the cutting edge in gaming Your socks and shirt match and guess jeans were all the rage ... Rap lyrics were about parties and fun and not about killing anyone "I wanna rock right now, my name is Rob Base and I came to get down ..." "Careless whispers ... on the dance floor" "Let's go crazy ..." You wanted a car like Michael Knight ... You thought Remington Steele was really cute and you wanted to be Laura Holt Scarecrow and Mrs. King seemed like a really plausible situation You wore shoes with no socks and a pink linen jacket Your mom called you in when the street lights came on "Walk this way ... and talk this way ..." "Welcome to the jungle ..." You remember a "boot up" disk Two words .... Dougie Howser

Remember tight rolling your pants? Break dancing was the rage! Revenge the Nerds, Valley Girl, Fast times at Ridgeont High, Peggy Sue got Married or any Kathleen turner movie.

Tinkerbell_ -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (5/2/2008 9:10:15 AM)
Side ponytails, banana clips and those little ring thingies you put on your tee shirt to knot it on the side.

I also a child of 70's and 80's as dazed and confused portrayed the essence of the 70's the 80's would be Fast Times at Ridgmont High, and Ferris Bueller The one thing that sucked in the 80's (and Im sure there are those who will disagree) is GIjOE went from 12 inches to 3-1/2.

redeemedsaint -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (6/7/2008 9:13:09 AM)
Don't forget Boy George and Culture Club, the big hair days. Still in love with 80's music.

humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (6/9/2008 8:39:53 PM)
The indroduction of U2.

brothertodd -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (6/11/2008 3:19:50 AM)
want to talk about hair 3 words.... Flock of Seagulls, if thats not a haircut screaming.. someone kick my #**.. the 70s also brought us the precurser to paintball LAZERTAG, which appears to be making a comback. But then again I live in southern Illinois this might be the first time around here. And for the fans of the little gijoes a movie is in the works at this time. Ill see the movie, liked the comic but am a fan of the 12 inch joes

quote: The indroduction of U2. Oh yeah - U2!!! Achtung Baby!

humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (6/14/2008 11:17:40 AM)
Or saying the work "like" in just about every other or third word as well. Anyone remember 80's lipsynching also? How about breakdancing also? In NYC, subway trains were filled with graffiti, not anymore though.

crazedmom -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (6/14/2008 3:03:49 PM)
I've toned down the "likes" but I think I still say that! [:D] Remember Cyndi Lauper? "Time After Time" Whatever happened to her, I wonder. Prince was larger than life, though I was not a fan. Kool & The Gang was huge. Lionel Ritchie was too.

humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you are 80s kid when. (6/14/2008 3:49:59 PM)
Cyndi Lauper is still around, but she wants to be taken seriously now though. Speaking of her, anyone remember her involvement with Rock & Wrestling complete with Lou Albano, Wendy O Williams, etc? Ans speaking of her, it reminds me of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany also.
